The former San Francisco fire commissioner who said a homeless man brutally attacked him with a metal pipe is now being accused of initiating the April 5 altercation.

The San Francisco Public Defender’s Office said he was acting in self-defense and urged the district attorney's office to drop the charges. On Wednesday, the public defender's office released two videos they received from the district attorney's office. The footage shows a man"who fits the physical description of Carmignani" approaching homeless individuals unprovoked, the public defender's office said in a press release.
Doty is seen in the footage running away before turning toward the man. In the footage, Doty appears to walk away several times as the man follows him.Attorneys for Doty said that Carmignani approached their client and bear-sprayed him.
